Chapter 9. Oracle Tools
Oracle databaseadministration is like most other professional endeavors: the qualityof job performance is often related to the tools available. Oracledatabase administrators are fortunate to have a variety of toolsavailable to aid them in the day-to-day administration of the Oracledatabase. This chapter provides an overview of the most popular anduseful Oracle tools, and shows how each tool can make the DBA'sjob a bit easier.
Tools provided run in either GUI (Graphical User Interface) mode,usually on Windows or Motif platforms, or in the more traditionalcharacter mode. Since GUI tools are designed to operate intuitivelyand have complete online help files, we only briefly describe theircapabilities. Character mode tools, on the other hand, typically relyon command-line parameters or parameter files and have little or noonline help. For these tools, we give information on usage here, andwe supply more detailed information on specific character mode syntaxin Chapter 16.
9.1. About the Tools
Oracle has long recognized that without appropriate tools, a databaseis just a collection of bits and bytes, of little use to anyone.While some vendors assume that tools will be built by the user orpurchased from another vendor, Oracle provides a powerful set oftools with the base distribution of the database that are useful foradministration and configuration of the database as well as forapplication development. In fact, it is entirely possible to designand build a functioning database application using just this set ofincluded tools. Table 9.1 provides a quick guideto selecting appropriate Oracle-supplied tools. Note that Import andExport are described in Chapter 4.
